Excerpt from Loblolly Pine Seed Tree Mortality, Vol. 6 The 8 best seed-producing pines, or one-quarter of the pine stands, were left to reseed each acre when the timber was harvested from mature stands. Crawler tractors were used in logging. Cultural operations designed to improve the seedbed and reduce competition from undesirable plants were used on some of the areas. One-half of the logged areas were burned and one quarter disked to improve the seedbed. Some seed trees were injured during the logging and in the burning operations. Eight percent of the seed trees were severely damaged in logging and 5 percent of the injured trees died. A record of mortality showed that less than 1 percent of the seed trees died per year for all seed-tree areas during the average regeneration period of years. The increased seed-tree mortality due to the burning treatment was approximately equal to the average lightning mortality for the period. A number of trees died with no external evidence of injury. Lightning and wind caused over half the mortality during the period the trees had to stand to re seed the area.

Excerpt from Growth, Mortality, and Regeneration After Cutting in Loblolly Pine Pulpwood Stands Good forest management policy today would not accept the rather crude short-rotation cutting methods as practiced in this early study. New methods of seed-tree selection and stimulation, seedbed preparation, and control of inferior understory species are some of the techniques considered advisable to secure satisfactory regeneration. However, there are large acreages of loblolly pine stands not under intensive management which are still being cut by some of the methods practiced in this study. The records of growth, mortality, and regeneration during the 9-year period following cutting by the six methods tested provide some useful information regarding these stands.
